Too Much Truck???
OK, I recently downsized, had a 40 ft 5er with about 2200 on the pin, to a 30ft travel trailer with a tongue weight of about 6-700 lbs Im guessing and grosses at 9K. My tow vehicle is a 2003 gmc diesel dually. I towed this trailer home with a borrowed F 150, and it rode beautifully, a little more power would have been nice, wt distributors hooked up, nice ride. Now I've towed many trailers with my dually, and now this new one. I use the weight distr hitch, not that the truck cant handle it, but the weight on the bumper bangs away, making the ride unbearable, and with the wd hitch its better but still a headache. I still have a 5er I need to move rarely so Im stuck with the truck. I was thinking of either removing the helper springs or airing up the bags so the truck doesn't sit on the helpers, which would make the trailer nose high, which I really don't want either. Any ideas how to get a better ride out of this rig?
